I was tagged by Cindy (thank you Cindy) for 8 random things about me.  Here are the rules:

*link to the person who tagged you
*post the rules
*name 8 things others don't know about you
*link to 8 other bloggers

So here goes:

1. I had dancing lessons for about 10 years in total, and was the lead dancer of a German Dance Troop (high kicks and splits type dancing, not slap thigh lederhosen type dancing!)

2. I still have the dance-bug deep down and when back home at our local haunts, a few drinks will usually bring out the urge to hit the dance floor...yeah baby!

3. I have always wanted big boobs  - Bubble from Absolutely Fabulous said it best: 'I want heaving pendulous breasts...' that just about sums up how I feel!

4. I eat vast quantities of popcorn...and I can eat it all day long.

5. I am just a few months away from hitting the big 3-0...can't wait to become a proper grown-up!

6. My first job whilst at college was at a pizza shop in a dodgy part of our town. I had no training on making any of the glorious dishes they sold - like pizza, kebabs (that looked like elephants legs) and burgers and after finally realising that the owners had little regard for either food hygiene standards or for the workers safety from drunken louts - I left...

7. I don't really like visiting the cinema - it has got to be a really good movie to get me to go, not entirely sure why I am not keen, perhaps its the combination of how expensive it is and the fact that I would rather wait until it comes out on DVD so I can watch it in the comfort of my own home with a glass of wine and the option to pause it when I need the loo...I am sounding SO OLD!

8. I am ever so slightly addicted to diet coke - I have stopped buying it now and only buy it on occasions when we are going to a party and need to bring soft drink. I will literally drink whatever we have in the house in a very short period of time...I simply cannot stop myself!

and in true tagging tradition, here are the eight blogs that I tag:

Everybody Likes Sandwiches - Serious Yum...

Rowdy Pea - I love reading this blog regardless of whether its a family tale or an inspiring craft project - I love all the wonderful ideas

Montessori by hand - Such a lovely blog and I find the tune 'I feel pretty, oh so pretty....' running through my head every time I see something she has sewn!

Dottie Angel - So beautiful and inspiring *sigh*

Write Mama Write - A lady who I am sure has been tagged lots before, but I gotta list her because she inspires me...

Offshore Wifes Life - Because quite simply, she rocks

Rocks In My Dryer - Another Okie Mama, who I bet gets tagged all the time, but I would really love to hear some more facts from this highly amusing and very talented Mama!

London Whitakers - A sweet friend who is expecting her first Babe in just a couple of weeks (Is it really mean to tag you now??)

HAAAAA, #3, hehehe, yes, I can relate, I have often dreamed of them myself, my husband is a boob man. Actually he says if its more than a handful its too much:) #4 - Popcorn is my FAVORITE treat and I also could eat it all day long, I save the left overs from the night before in ziplocks to munch on. & #7, I too do not like going to the movies. Oh, once I am there and situated and I know no one with a big doofy hair doo or screamin kid can sit in front of me I am good, but until then, forget it. I loved your list:) Thanks for playing!

wow--we have a lot in common here. the diet coke, the movies (blech--I'm way too fidgety to sit in a chair for two hours), and I am also about to be a bona fide grown up. yikes.

I think your blog is so sweet, and I can't wait to visit and look around a little more :)
